Heights Happenings: March 3- March 10, 2011

For the months of March (and possibly longer), Heights Beatniks will be featuring children's clothes and gift items from Beth Philley of Sew Sweet Creations. And because they love a good time, they're throwing a party to celebrate!

Beth makes both boys and girls clothing, and accessories like blankets and hair bows. Beatniks will also have great gift items, like bibs and burp cloths.

Green Plate Kids will be there serving up turkey sliders, along with light refreshments and other snacks.

Also, that evening from 6:00 PM- 8:30 PM, the shop will be celebrating the opening of works by multi-media artist Molly Rodriguez.

This month marks the 7th year of our wonderful 1st Saturday Arts market! There are some wonderful artists joining the market this month. I would love to give a special shout out to jewelry maker Ann Westby of Petals & Metals. Great jewelry; great person. Wanna know the other artists who will be in attendance: Click here
